for all you science buffs out there..
Saw this recently and thought it was pretty funny, the dancing is kinda hookie, but some of the images as pretty interesting as it was filmed on location and the wording does explain its purpose well. Fun video.. the imatation of Stephen Hawking isn't bad either, though he uses an artifical voice box so.......

Thanks for posting. I got a 'big bang' out of it!

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!!!!!
Thanks RM! That's my first good laugh of the day, and I really needed it.
Bikeless for now...but not forever!

Just read that the LHC is due to start up on Wednesday........the quest for the Higgs Boson continues! Wish they had been able to complete the supercollider in Texas......oh, well. Whats another 10 billion?

Very cool.
It's the end of the world as we know it! And I feel fine.

I think the Higgs Boson passed me on the way to work this morning!But Texas does have a supercolider, along with every other state, its known as the Interstate Highway System!

Like, that's really heavy, man!I think the Higgs Boson passed me on the way to work this morning!
I passed a neutrino this morning, never felt a thing, thank Dog.

Watch for new dimensional shifts... about to begin... http://lhc.web.cern.ch/lhc/Cooldown_status.htm
Well, apparently France is still here after the start-up this morning.

yes, but only temporarily it would seem...Well, apparently France is still here after the start-up this morning.

The potential for the world's largest atom smasher to destroy Earth is one question weighing on the minds of some lay people as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) prepares to go online Wednesday.
Don't worry, say the experts, who are more concerned with whether the 17 mile-long particle accelerator underground at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research near Geneva, Switzerland, will work as planned and, perhaps, reveal the existence of the so-called God particle.
All that in mind, here are answers to several questions buzzing around on the eve of the LHC's inaugural run:
So, will a black hole consume the planet?
Some people have suggested that a microscopic black hole, spawned by the powerful crash of subatomic particles racing through the LHC's tunnels, could potentially suck up the Earth.
But physicists say these fears are unfounded. For one, creating a black hole at LHC is extremely unlikely based on the laws of gravity alone, CERN officials say. But even if it did happen, as a few highly speculative theories suggest, the miniscule black hole would be so unstable it would disintegrate immediately before it had time to gobble up any of the matter on Earth.
Will a 'strangelet' destroy us?
Another wild idea: The LHC might produce something called a strangelet that could convert our planet into a lump of dead "strange matter."
This hypothesis is equally unlikely, experts say, because the same worries were raised eight years ago before the opening of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a particle accelerator at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island. Since RHIC has been operating safely for years, and it's set-up made it even more likely to produce strangelets if such creation were possible, then the LHC poses little risk of converting us into strangelings.
Although worrywarts have gone so far as to file suit in Federal District Court in Hawaii and in the European Court of Human Rights to stop the LHC (as they also did before RHIC), the project will go ahead as planned.
